Dean Owens is another performer I've reviewed several times before, and remains a dependable favourite. This time he had the full Whisky Hearts band on hand, with drums, bass, keyboard, lead guitar, fiddle and Owens himself on rhythm guitar. With the excellent Liz Jones adding backing vocals on occasion.
A lively home town crowd made for a great atmosphere from the moment the band were announced and set the tone for a rowdy gig. With a well established back catalogue to call upon, and a new album launch imminent, the set was a crowd pleasing mix of old and new, and the inevitable and joyous singalong on the wonderful Raining In Glasgow. The band were tight, with the underrated Craig Ross delivering some excellent guitar work, while Jones' occasional vocal contribution added an extra sweetness to the sound.
As enjoyable, friendly and entertaining a gig as ever.
